Venue Operational Requirements

2.11 Windows Not To Be Removed or Obscured


Windows help to mitigate the risk of gaming machine areas (GMA) from becoming immersive environments. Any windows that provide a view from the gaming machine area must not be removed or obscured, except as provided below:

A venue operator may remove a window for the purpose of replacing it with another window of equal or greater size if the new window is in place within 10 working days after the old window is removed.

A venue operator may remove a window or part of a window for the purpose of repairing it, if the repairs are completed, and the window or part is replaced within 10 working days after the window or part is removed.

A venue operator may obscure a window by installing blinds or curtains, or by tinting, shading or any other window treatment, for the purpose of temperature control or the reduction of glare from direct sunlight.
